"I love the look of these sneakers but unfortunately they must run approx. 1/2 size small so I had to send them back. I may try reordering them in the 1/2 size up to see how they are & will be able to give a better review then."

"I found the Sportwalker 4010 about 7 years ago and is now the only shoe I buy. Problem is they are getting harder to find. Very comfortable and never need to get "broken" in. I can put them on and wear them all day without ever worrying about getting raw spots on my heels, etc. I do take out the insert and replace it with one made for walking. We do a lot of walking when we go to Busch Gardens or Universal and these shoes are comfortable and give me the support I need."
Pros: Good traction, Durable
Yes, I recommend this product.

"I Have been buying Rykas since I did a marathon in 1996. I love them. They are comfortable and looks good. Now I buy them for work. I am up and down all day walking briskly to fetch the mail and take messages to co-workers as well as wearing them for exercise. When I buy a new pair, I use the old pair for home use and working out in the yard. I have never been able to find another shoe that fits so well and feels this good."

"I had a pair of these several years ago, then couldn't find them in our local stores. I had hung onto them because they were so comfortable, so I was overjoyed to see the same model being offered. Thanks to Ryka for not changing a good thing! As I grow older I appreciate stability more and more (along with comfort), and these make me sure-footed and confident in my walking."
Pros: Good traction, Cushioning, Durable, Shock absorbing, Breathable, large toe box

"TRIED 91/2 WIDE. TRIED 10 M. GOT IT RIGHT WITH 10 W. Wore every pair out till "worn out". OBTW: my definition of "worn out" is a whole lot sooner and less miles on the shoes than most folks will bear. Give them up ladies... when support is waning and soles may still look good."

"I really hated to return these shoes. #1 because they are made in the USA and #2 because I really liked the looks. However, I think I should have ordered a half size larger. I also found them to be a little stiff. I did go to the local FF store - very nice people, by the way - and they only had a couple of Ryka styles, so I ended up buying Nike and New Balance from them. Have to say that returning the shoes to the store was a very good experience since I had ordered them online. I have always liked FF stores because of the friendly, helpful staff and that seems to be true in every FF store I've ever been in."
Pros: Lightweight, all white
Cons: seemed stiff
